Milebook for business · for plumbers
Van tracking built for plumbing companies
Your vans are your shop on wheels. Milebook keeps each one on the road: techs log fuel and receipts from their phone, run a quick pre-trip check, and you see what every van costs and what's due before it breaks down on the way to an emergency call.
- No credit card for the trial
- $4 per van a month
- Unlimited drivers
What it does for plumbers
A van down means jobs lost
Oil changes by mileage, inspections and registrations by date, tire rotations every few thousand miles. Milebook reminds you and the tech who drives that van before it's due, not after it fails.
Every tech in their own van
Give each plumber a login limited to the van they drive. They log fill-ups, parking and tolls as they go. They can't delete entries or edit vehicles; you and your managers can.
Receipts that don't get lost
Techs snap the gas or parts-store receipt and Milebook fills in the total, date and shop for them to check. The photo is stored privately with the entry, ready for your accountant.
Know which van is costing you
Fuel, repairs, tires, insurance, parking and tolls per van, with cost per mile for any date range. The van that keeps eating money stands out.

Questions
Can techs log parking tickets and tolls?
Yes. Parking, tolls, fines, insurance, registration and car washes are expense categories, logged per van with an optional receipt photo.
Can I customize the inspection for plumbing vans?
Yes. Start from Milebook's pre-trip checklist and add your own items, like the drain machine strapped in or the ladder rack secure. Techs can add a note and a photo for anything marked as a problem.
Can my crew log miles between jobs?
Yes. They tap Start trip and End trip and the phone's GPS records the miles while Milebook is open on screen, or they log the odometer by hand. You see every trip and its business miles at the IRS rate; the street-map route stays private to the driver.
What does it cost?
Fleet is $4 per vehicle a month (or $40 per vehicle a year) with unlimited drivers, after a 14-day free trial with no card. Five vans is $20 a month.
Do my drivers need to install an app?
No. They open getmilebook.com on their phone, sign in with their own login and add it to the home screen. It works on iPhone and Android.
